Match Point

Such a clause often appears in NBA and NFL player contracts:

Match quotes.

In other words, if a competitor makes an "offer" and the team is willing to match the offer, then the player needs to give priority to staying with the team to renew.

This is a clause that is beneficial to the team, because when many players want to transfer, salary is part of the reason, but not necessarily the whole reason. Some players often choose to transfer because they want to leave the team's locker room and environment, but This clause guarantees that the team has absolute initiative when matching offers.

Unless the opposing team is willing to give a higher offer to break the match, the player must stay, but the difficulty can be imagined.

Of course, to take a step back, if the offer is matched, at least the salary of the players will increase, and the team is willing to match the offer to keep the player, which shows enough sincerity to a certain extent, which is not so bad for both parties ending.

But no matter what, this clause gives the team the initiative.

Now, Nike has asked Tobias to make a commitment through a verbal agreement, which also means that they always have the right to make the final bid.

I have to say that Nike is really old and spicy.

On the surface, Nike showed enough sincerity. Even if the crocodile did not talk about Wude to break the deadlock, they were still willing to discuss internally to see if they were willing to match the offer, which showed that they wanted to sign Gao Wen very, very much.

But in fact, what Nike is really defending against is Adidas.

In the competition of Gao Wen's sponsorship and endorsement, Nike and Adidas are undoubtedly the most important rivals to each other. The price is one aspect, and the layout strategy of the Asian market is another aspect. Therefore, the two sides have always been secretly competing in private, guarding against each other and restraining each other. .

From a strategic point of view, the importance of Gawain has surpassed that of Bouchard; but taking a step back, the time for Gawain to be born is still too short, and tennis is a sport that depends on long-term market influence. The article just broke out at the US Open this year and then disappeared in a flash, so what about brands that spend a lot of money to sign endorsement contracts?

It is precisely because of this that under the calm surface is a dark tide.

Nike's request is tantamount to leaving a trick for itself.

Tobias didn't mind, though—

Just as Tobias took the initiative to let go of the crocodile, he didn't mind sharing the news of Adidas with Nike, and vice versa.

Anyway, the competition and confrontation between brands will ultimately benefit Gao Wen. Maybe Tobias can win a record-breaking contract for Gao Wen.

Tobias had no reason to refuse.

So, what about the crocodile who caused the crime?

After Knox learned that the news had leaked, he immediately understood Tobias' "hint", which obviously meant that the alligator's offer was not accepted.

Knox was neither surprised nor disappointed.

The Alligator is currently in the midst of a power struggle internally. They really lack the energy and courage to complete this signing that will change the market structure. The offer of 700,000 US dollars is his own initiative, and there is a high probability that it will not be approved by the headquarters. But at least he gave it a try.

Knox still admires Gao Wen, and he is still looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate with Gao Wen in the future. Calm down again, watch the show and enjoy the excitement.

Soon, Knox realized how much turmoil he had caused by his sideways move. This year's US Open is really interesting.

It was another match day where all the matches came to an end. After the wonderful and powerful collision of the previous night, today’s match was disappointing. The two night matches at the Arthur Ashe Stadium were all one-sided. Sweeping and crushing, even the Louis Armstrong Stadium game failed to bring surprises.

Then, the men's singles and women's singles quarterfinals are all released.

The women's singles brought surprises again. Bencic defeated Jankovic and continued to create great results. She became the youngest player in the top eight of all adult events at the US Open this year. She will compete with Peng Shuai for the top four position—

Peng Shuai, from China, finally ushered in a breakthrough this year. Before that, she had advanced to the fourth round of the Grand Slam five times, including this year's Wimbledon, but all five of the quarterfinals ended in failure. After defeating China's golden flower nemesis Safarova, she entered the final eight of the Grand Slam for the first time.

In addition, Serena Williams, Pennetta, Azarenka, Makarova, Wozniacki, Errani, these six players were ranked in the quarterfinals.

Among them, only Serena Williams and Pennetta were born before 1985, and all other players are Mesozoic born after 1985.

In particular, Wozniacki defeated Sharapova in three hard-fought "contradictory battles", which seems to be the pinnacle duel of beauty wars in recent years, sparking countless discussions, and the popularity on social networking platforms has always remained high.

Although it is a little regrettable that only Bencic is left as a single seedling in the new generation, the trend of rejuvenation in the women's arena is still more obvious.

So what about the men's player who was expected to be in Flushing after his youth storm at Wimbledon two months ago?

Big disappointment!

In the second half, Berdych swept Thiem and Cilic narrowly beat Simon in five sets; Monfils beat Dimitrov in straight sets and Federer beat Agut in straight sets.

Thus, the pattern of Berdych against Cilic and Federer against Monfils took shape.

Tim exposed a huge shortcoming in experience, and there were almost no chances in the whole game.

Dimitrov exposed the shortcoming of psychological fluctuations at critical moments for the first time. Although it is said that the score was three straight sets, in fact, all three sets met seven, "7:5", "7:6 (6 , "7:5", with such a close score, it can be seen that Monfils far outperformed Dimitrov in key points, and this was the case in all three sets. This really needs to be summed up.

The two "post-90s" who had high hopes did not go further~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In particular, the matchup of "Dimitrov VS Federer" was not able to be staged, which is undoubtedly a great disappointment.

In the first half, Djokovic swept Robredo, Murray took Tsonga in three sets; Gawain overturned Wawrinka in five sets, and Kei Nishikori beat Raonic in five sets.

Then, Djokovic played against Murray, and Gao Wen played against Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals.

Compared with the lower half, it is obvious that such a matchup table is much more interesting.

Raonic failed to replicate Wimbledon's miraculous performance, which also means that only one of the four "post-90s" players who reached the top 16 is left:

Gao Wen.

Moreover, they are still "post-95s"!

From the only surviving Bencic in the women's singles field to the only young Gao Wen in the men's singles field, this year's youth storm has experienced the devastation and baptism of the top 16, and there are only two left, and they are also the youngest two.

In an instant, all eyes were on the two "post-95s".
